I put forth my Christian understanding of the term as it relates to the creation in post #139 as shown here: But I believe it is pertinent to this thread that an expanding universe and the indications of a universe with a beginning, means that the term God defined as the source of the energy of creation, makes that term a viable axiom.
I am quoting you here: "Any honest scientist or atheist would simply say we don't know where we came from". Also: "Apologists like to throw out the claim that atheists or scientists believe we popped out of nothing however that's simply not a true statement."
Now I am paraphrasing your sentiments using a true dichotomy: Any honest scientist or atheist would say we came from somewhere or something.
Hence the term 'God' defined as "the source of the energy of creation", carries the same meaning alluding to where we came from. Came from somewhere/something = Source of the energy of creation.
Now here is what I said again: But I believe it is pertinent to this thread that an expanding universe and the indications of a universe with a beginning, means that the term God defined as the source of the energy of creation, makes that term a viable axiom.
